Thirty-six hour days, brother (or soul sister). Packing it all in. No time to rest because this isn't even a job. I write about companies and stocks, primarily in my three favorite spaces: tech, media and retail. Everyday feels like a day off when you do this!

But it's not all coming up roses. I have some issues to run by Santa Claus.

Give Us Less From Wall Street Analysts

A majority of the financial media relies way too much on Wall Street analysts. Every other guest on CNBC is an analyst. Most multimedia sites, including TheStreet, call on these guys for reaction daily.

Several firms -- two in particular -- completely blew it on Apple (AAPL) . It wasn't just that they were wrong. It's no sin to be wrong; it's merely human. It's the way they went about being wrong. I explain in the above-linked articles.

The second article ( "Absolutely Devastating News for Amazon?" ) points out that things just got worse when a financial reporter turned to these very firms, seconds after these cats performed pathetically, to get insight on -- of all stocks -- AAPL! I can't make this stuff up.
